lol,
does look that way, doesn't it...
are there dispersants that could be applied by air? you would think more could be done than just watch it drift down the coast. In the gulf spill dispersants were applied from airplanes and used alot. is it possible they could be used on a situation like this? is this our example of a world class oil spill response? sure glad this is a relatively small one. I hope it has been a wakeup call Tugitcaptain, and I hope we do see substantial actions taken so this doesn't happen again.
also, thxs for the info on how fuel is distributed to the island. not alot of info on that when trying to google it. you would think there would be some type of map image showing the routes and who ships what where. if there is I haven't been able to find it.
would it not be possible to have 1 or 2 main terminals and then pipe the product up and down the island and store the product in tank farms? would that not eliminate alot of tanker traffic in sensitive marine areas? is that being done or are there reasons it isn't being done? thxs for shedding some light on this subject.
it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water.
